Radon Mitigation
Radon Mitigation Services
in Colorado
Radon is a silent health threat in Colorado homes: invisible, odorless, and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. We design and install certified mitigation systems that bring levels down to safe standards and keep them there, installed to EPA and NRPP standards, usually in one day, with follow-up testing to prove it.
Why Homeowners Choose PowerHouse
Certified systems, proven results, local expertise
Nearly half of Colorado homes test above the EPA's 4.0 pCi/L action level, thanks to the uranium in our soil and geology. The only way to know your home's risk is professional testing, and if levels are high, mitigation is the proven way to bring them down.
Fast installation
Most systems installed in just one day, designed for your specific foundation.
Certified systems
Installed to EPA and NRPP standards by AARST-member radon professionals.
Colorado & Wyoming expertise
A local team that understands our soils, geology, and housing stock.
Proven results
Follow-up testing confirms safe radon levels, documented in writing.
Family-focused
Long-term protection for the people who breathe your home’s air every day.
How It Works
Our radon mitigation solutions
Testing & Inspection
Professional measurement of your levels, and evaluation of any existing system’s performance with repair or upgrade recommendations.
Custom System Design
A mitigation approach matched to your foundation type, layout, and radon pathways.
Certified Installation
EPA and NRPP standard-compliant installation, typically completed in a single day.
Verification & Follow-Up
Post-install testing confirms levels are safely down, with written results.
What Homeowners Should Know
Radon does not announce itself. Testing does.
How radon gets in
It slips into basements and crawl spaces through cracks, pipe gaps, and sump pumps, then circulates through the whole house.
Why mitigation is critical
Exposure accumulates over years with no immediate symptoms. Mitigation removes the risk at the source.
National recommendations
The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L, and the U.S. Surgeon General advises every home be tested, regardless of age or foundation type.
Multi-family solutions
Custom approaches for apartment buildings, duplexes, and townhomes that protect every unit.
Where We Do This Work
Radon mitigation across the Front Range
Every county we serve sits in the EPA’s highest radon zone. Testing and mitigation, city by city.
Whole-Home Approach
Stronger together: radon, crawl space, and whole-home air
Crawl space encapsulation is one of the most effective radon companions, and an energy audit ties air quality to efficiency.
Want the primary sources? The EPA’s radon guide covers the 4.0 pCi/L action level and health risk data, and the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment publishes state-specific radon resources, including the low-income mitigation assistance program.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is radon such a concern in Colorado?
Colorado ranks among the states with the highest radon levels in the nation because of natural uranium in our soil and geology. Nearly half of homes in the state test above the EPA action level of 4.0 pCi/L.
How dangerous is radon really?
Long-term radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for thousands of preventable deaths each year. It causes no immediate symptoms, which is exactly why testing matters.
How does radon get into a home?
Radon forms as uranium in soil and rock breaks down, then moves upward and enters through foundation cracks, gaps around pipes, sump pumps, crawl spaces, and even porous building materials. It follows the path of least resistance into basements and lower levels.
How long does mitigation system installation take?
Most systems are installed in just one day. We design the system for your specific foundation type, install it to EPA and NRPP standards, and verify with follow-up testing.
How much does a radon mitigation system cost?
It depends on your foundation type and layout. Homes with complex layouts or crawl spaces may need additional sealing or vapor barrier work, and we quote the full scope for free before anything starts.
How do I know the system actually worked?
Follow-up testing after installation confirms your levels are down where they should be, and you get the results in writing. That verification step is part of every install.
My home already has a radon system. Do you service those?
Yes. We inspect existing systems, evaluate fan performance, piping, seals, and discharge points, and recommend repairs or upgrades when needed so the system keeps protecting your family as intended.
Do you handle multi-family properties?
We do. Radon spreads quickly between units in apartment buildings, duplexes, and townhomes, and our customized multi-family solutions protect residents throughout the property while meeting all local and EPA guidelines.
Can crawl space encapsulation be part of radon mitigation?
Yes, and it is one of the most effective combinations: sealing the crawl space with durable vapor barriers and integrating it into the mitigation system lowers radon while also improving air quality and energy efficiency.
What level of radon is considered safe?
The EPA action level is 4.0 pCi/L, but many health professionals recommend reducing levels even lower. The U.S. Surgeon General advises every home be tested regardless of age, foundation type, or location.
